The Roman light infantry were different from regular infantry. They did not have a large shield in their hands, but they were just carrying a spear gun as a weapon, and they did not have thick ring armor on their bodies, but were wearing leather armor. Therefore, they were moving very fast.

Generally, they do not form formations to fight, but instead fight in the form of scattered soldiers in some situations that are not suitable for the military formation. This is the case on the Tartus battlefield at this time.

These light infantry quickly approached the low wall. They wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when the defenders gathered at the gap, climbed over the low wall directly, and then rushed through the defenders.

At the same time, Petersius's three reserve phalanxes also marched near the gap, and they wanted to relay the square formation in front to continue to attack the defense line.

At this time, for the defenders, they can be described as being in danger. They were weak in almost all of them concentrated in several gaps to block the attack, causing the light infantry to climb over the low walls as if they were entering a deserted realm and came from behind. However, the enemies in front of them were killing more and more, and the more they fought, the stronger they fought. Their side was constantly losing casualties, and the number of people was getting smaller and smaller.

Petersius's crossbow launched another round of bombardment, scattering the horses blocked the fourth gap. The cavalry also gathered again and charged towards the gap again.

The general who was commanding the defender showed a desperate expression in his eyes. He drew out his sword with his right hand and took a javelin with his left hand and shouted: "Follow me!" Then he rushed into the gap with more than a hundred personal soldiers who could call the last, trying to block the war cavalry that was like a rushing wildly. At this time, the defense lines on the other three gaps were already shaking.

Just as Petersius was sure to win, he suddenly heard a dull sound like thunder rolling in his ears.

Petersius looked up at the sky, but it was clear as usual. Then he felt the earth trembling slightly, but he heard bursts of exclamations in his ears: "There are enemies behind!", "There are enemy cavalry behind him rushed!"

He quickly turned his head and saw that about a thousand cavalry lined up in the back and swept across the side. The cavalry and horses in the middle were shining with metallic luster. Obviously, they were all heavy cavalrymen with both men and horses.

Before Petersius could react, he could not react from both sides, hundreds of arrows shot from both sides, and more than a dozen Roman soldiers were immediately caught and fell to the ground. Under the high-speed impact of war horses, some of these arrows could penetrate the ring armor on the Roman soldiers and penetrate into their bodies.

"Quick! Call the cavalry back! Fight them!" Petersius finally came to his senses and shouted loudly. Then he added: "Retreat our infantry too! Form a formation! Hurry, hurry!"

The sound of the Roman army horns was once again loud. The cavalry who were about to rush to the gap quickly turned their horses and ran back. The defending generals and his hundreds of soldiers who were blocking the gap threw out dozens of javelins left in their hands, killing more than a dozen riders who were too close to the horse.

It was obvious that if it weren't for this sudden change, they would have died in half a quarter of an hour under the iron hoof of the Petersius cavalry. The defending general put his hand on the awning and looked into the distance, then suddenly realized and slapped his thigh and said, "It's great. We're saved, so it must be our Daliang Allied Forces coming!"

The Roman cavalry also changed the array within a moment, and rushed forward in line with Liang's cavalry.

A Roman knight pointed his flat cavalry at the oncoming cavalry. The scenery on both sides quickly passed by him, and the wind whistled in his ears. The cavalry on the opposite cavalry rushed towards him at an unimaginable speed. He thought in his heart that in two or three seconds, the cavalry in his hand would be able to poke the other party cold. But as soon as this thought passed, he felt his heart empty, as if he had been picked away. He lowered his eyes and an arrow had shot through his chest. Then he rolled under the horse, and then the iron hoof of the cavalry ran past him.

Before the two wings were in contact, the Roman cavalry was shot down by the sharp arrows of the Liang army's light cavalry. The Roman cavalry, which was connected with the Liang army's heavy cavalry, was not much better. Most of them had their rifles easily swept away by the wolf-toothed stick in the hands of the opponent's knights, and then they were knocked down by a stick.

After the two cavalry lines passed by, only more than a hundred cavalry remained, which could be described as annihilated by the entire army. The Liang army lost only more than ten cavalry. The Liang cavalry ignored the surviving Roman cavalry and continued to rush forward.

At this time, Petersius's front legion formation had not yet been withdrawn. He was shocked when he saw this scene and hurriedly rode his horse to meet with the square formation.

After the low wall, the soldiers of the Alexander army saw that the main force of the opponent had retreated and turned around to kill the enemy's light infantry. The latter was naturally not the opponents of these regular Roman infantry holding large shields, rings and armor, and sharp blades, who were killed on the ground one by one by one. Some even wanted to climb over the wall to escape, but were slapped down by the defenders with a shield, and then took a sword and pierced his neck.

Petersius, who was riding a horse, saw that he was getting closer and closer to the phalanx of his army, but he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind. He thought he was his personal deputy general, so he didn't care.

When he found that the soldiers and generals in the opposite formation were exclaiming, he realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. With a muffled sound, the blade of a spear protruded out of his chest.

Then, a big hand grabbed his armor neck collar, and a sharp blade that cut the horse slashed across his neck, and his head immediately separated from his body. At the last moment of his life, he saw that the knight wearing silver armor, white horse, yellow skin and black hair, who took his life. This person was Zhao Yun, the commander of Liang Jun.

The retreating Petersius infantry formed three circular arrays to defend themselves on the basis of the original three reserved square arrays. The shield wall surrounded the outer wall, and used a javelin as a short spear to reveal a cold gun blade between the gaps of the shield. The soldiers in the middle pushed the shield over their heads like three turtles covered with burrs.

The Liang army cavalry did not rush hard, but circled around them. Zhao Yun held Petersius's head in his hand and personally whispered to surrender. Although these Roman soldiers could not understand Chinese, they could guess it. But they were not moved by it and continued to maintain their formation.

But half an hour later, the soldiers of the Alexander army set up more than a dozen crossbows and aimed at these three round formations after clearing the remaining enemies behind the low walls. At the same time, the infantrymen equipped with individual crossbows also rushed over, and they picked up the crossbows and aimed at these round formations. Just when the crossbows of friendly troops bombarded the turtle shells, they shot out dense crossbow guns. These crossbow guns could easily penetrate the ring armor on the Roman soldiers.

The generals of Alexander's army made the last persuasion. Just when they were about to take action, they saw a white flag flapping from the enemy's army...
